Been reading through all the posts on anonymity and privacy. If you are involved in crypto or bitcoin, privacy and anonymity is generally needed up to an extent. In my case, I wouldn't say I am completely anonymous but can partially be called so. I have never uploaded any pics of mine nor do allow anyone to upload my pic in any of the social media platforms (inc whatsapp) and have never revealed the real name of mine anywhere around in terms of social media platforms. I once had a defunct facebook account (without a pic and a fake name) which was deleted 6 years back and so on.  

But to the contrary, I don't use a VPN since I am really not willing to hide what I am doing to my ISP provider. I have an official twitter, keybase and an instagram account linked to the forum name but neither of them are related to my real life. Only 2 or 3 of my real life acquaintance do know I am literally involved in bitcoin and cryptocurrency and other than that none of them really does know what I do over the lengthy leisure days.

I don't really trade much but majority of my bitcoin earnings and savings are being used for global transactions in order to import and export stuffs in and around the country. I would compare myself with L from Death Note anime (I have 2 separate identities which aren't interlinked to each other and are completely different from each other)

As Lucius pointed out, boasting about ourselves and our involvement in crypto to our friends and acquaintance will probably end up in a death threat (just kidding) but I wouldn't trust any of my friends or acquaintances with my personal info on bitcoin.
